Duan Gouqiong and Jing Chengzhi were rescued from the trap. Their clothes were soaked. Waves of cold air swept over them, making them shiver.
Duan Gouqiong walked towards the horse beside him, and Jing Chengzhi quickly followed: "Shall I take you home?"
He originally thought that Duan Gouqiong would be very happy to give it to her, but Duan Gouqiong said with a cold face: "No need!"
Then she rode away!
Jing Chengzhi watched Duan Gouqiong leave in surprise. Her reaction was beyond his expectations.
Jing Chengzhi lowered his eyes, then jumped on his horse and followed Duan Gouqiong not too far away. He felt that Duan Gouqiong was a little strange after waking up from his coma.
Duan Gouqiong walked for a while and found herself lost. She reined in her horse and stopped, looking depressed. Jing Chengzhi rode up to her and asked, "Princess, can I take you back?"
Duan Gouqiong glanced at him coldly and spat out two words: "Lead the way!"
Jing Chengzhi rode his horse forward, and Duan Gouqiong followed behind. Along the way, Jing Chengzhi tried to talk to Duan Gouqiong many times, but Duan Gouqiong was indifferent, which made Jing Chengzhi feel that Duan Gouqiong's thoughts were more and more difficult to understand.
When she returned to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, someone from the Prince's Mansion came forward to greet her: "Miss, you're back?"
Duan Gouqiong didn't respond. She looked at Jing Chengzhi behind her and said, "Prince, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
Duan Gouqiong's attitude towards him at the beginning was particularly cold, and he was still wondering what went wrong.
But now she invited him in for tea, Jing Chengzhi immediately felt that he was overthinking it, and Duan Gouqiong simply felt unwell, so he hurried back.
"Okay." Jing Chengzhi didn't care whether this was the prince's mansion or not, and walked in.
Duan Gouqiong was changing clothes, and Ni Yueshan took the initiative to walk in.
Duan Gouqiong in the room saw Ni Yueshan and glanced at her calmly before saying, "Sister Yueshan, send someone to get Shao Lecheng?"
Ni Yueshan knew that Jing Yuchen's plan had worked, and she nodded: "Okay, Princess, wait a moment."
Ni Yueshan walked out, and Duan Gouqiong continued, "Sister Yueshan, I asked the Duke to come to the Crown Prince's Mansion. I figured out something yesterday and wanted to announce it in front of Shao Lecheng. It turns out I really misunderstood her."
Her expression was complicated, she frowned and looked ashamed.
Ni Yueshan responded: "Let me call the people first, and let's not talk about other things for now!"
In the hall of the Prince's Mansion.
Jing Chengzhi had already used his internal energy to dry his clothes, but they were still uncomfortable to wear. He waited for Duan Gouqiong to come over, said hello, and then left.
After waiting for a long time, the person who showed up was Jing Yuchen.
Jing Chengzhi looked at Jing Yuchen with disdain: "Prince, were there many people in the Prince's Mansion looking for Princess Gou Qiong yesterday? I didn't expect that she would come back with this prince, right?"
Jing Chengzhi seemed very proud, looking at Jing Yuchen with a slightly raised mouth corner, waiting for Jing Yuchen to look jealous.
Jing Yuchen's expression was indifferent, without showing any jealousy. "As long as you are happy."
The words were said casually, but to Jing Chengzhi's ears, they sounded extremely irritating. As long as he is happy, that's enough?
He snorted disdainfully, thinking that Jing Yuchen was just pretending to be calm.
Soon, Duan Gouqiong's figure appeared.
Jing Chengzhi stood up and walked forward: "Princess, are you feeling well? Are you cold? Do you want to go to the Prince's Mansion to recuperate for a while?"
Jing Chengzhi looked very worried. Duan Gouqiong looked indifferent and said, "Sit down and wait for someone to come."
Jing Chengzhi was a little confused. He stood beside Duan Gouqiong and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"
Duan Gouqiong did not respond. He picked up the tea beside him and took a sip. Jing Chengzhi just felt that Duan Gouqiong was being mysterious?
He waited patiently without moving. Jing Yuchen seemed not curious about who Duan Gouqiong was talking about, and also had an indifferent look on his face.
Jing Chengzhi felt more and more confused, but he couldn't question it.
Until a figure appeared, Jing Chengzhi looked at it in surprise...
Ni Yueshan walked in front, followed by Shao Lecheng. Jing Chengzhi frowned tightly, and now he was the only one who looked confused and depressed.
Ni Yueshan walked over and said to Duan Gouqiong, "The person is here. What do you want to announce?"
Duan Gouqiong stood up from his seat, his eyes fell on Shao Lecheng, and then he said, "Are you still investigating your innocence?"
Shao Lecheng knew what Duan Gouqiong was going to say. He nodded and said, "Yes, we are investigating. What do you think?"
"It's not a great idea, but I disappeared yesterday and figured out something."
Shao Lecheng pretended to be curious and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Prince, do you know why I don't seem to be very grateful to you?"
This rhetorical question made Jing Chengzhi, who was already full of doubts, even more confused.
He frowned tightly: "Why?"
Logically, even if he was ambushed yesterday, he protected Duan Gouqiong in the trap, so Duan Gouqiong should be grateful to him!
Duan Gouqiong smiled contemptuously, "Because after I passed out, I regained consciousness! Do you understand what that means? I heard everything you discussed with others!"
Duan Gouqiong stared at Jing Chengzhi, waiting for him to change his expression, and then explained hurriedly, but Jing Chengzhi looked at Duan Gouqiong in surprise.
"I discussed this with others?" Jing Chengzhi hadn't figured out what was going on for a moment when Duan Gouqiong mocked him, "Stop pretending! This princess heard it with her own ears, it can't be fake!"
"Back then, when I rescued an old man, I was deceived and killed the thirty people accompanying me. It was you who orchestrated it and framed Shao Lecheng, Prince. I never thought that you, despite your elegant appearance, could be such a dark soul!"
This series of words left Jing Chengzhi stunned. Why did he feel like there was something he didn't understand?
"Princess, have you made a mistake? How could it be me? Do you have any evidence?" Jing Chengzhi did not choose to admit it, and looked at Duan Gouqiong with a puzzled look.
Duan Gouqiong no longer wanted to see Jing Chengzhi's hypocritical face.
"I've already exposed you, yet you're still pretending. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, how would I have realized that everything was just a self-torture trick!"
"Prince, you have pulled off a brilliant trick! This princess will go to the palace and report this to the emperor, asking him to avenge the people I accompanied!"
She spoke a little excitedly, her eyes were red, and she looked at Jing Chengzhi and wished she could execute him right then and there to avenge her people!
Jing Chengzhi saw that Duan Gouqiong's misunderstanding of her was getting deeper and deeper, and he became a little anxious: "Princess, I still don't understand how you knew about this and why you are sure that it was my fault. I am truly wronged!"
